With the official end of RoboNet-1.0 in October 2007, and the earlier acquisition of the two [[Faulkes Telescopes]] by [[Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope|Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network]], the microlensing programme is carried on as RoboNet-II. From 2008, RoboNet-II willhas makebeen use ofusing the expert system for microlensing target selection

that is being provided by the [[Automated Robotic Terrestrial Exoplanet Microlensing Search]] (ARTEMiS). RoboNet-II aims at obtaining a first census of cool terrestrial [[exoplanet]]s and competes for the first detection of an exoplanet of Earth mass or below.
